For fear of losing days work,
many persons put off taking physic un-
til Saturday. The better plan is to not
delay but take it as soon as needed, it
may save you hard spell of sickness.
Ii you want the most benefit from the
least amount of physic without causing
you any inconvenience, loss of appetite
or rest, take st. Patrick's Pills. their
action on the liver and bowels are
thorough, they give a freshness, tone
and vigor to the whole system and act
in harmony with nature. Emiel Brauch.
